Yes! Massaging your scalp not only feels incredibly relaxing but also promotes better blood circulation to the hair follicles, improving hair growth and overall scalp health. Additionally, scalp massage helps reduce stress and tension, contributing to a sense of well-being and relaxation.

I wanted to share with you some of the questions my clients often ask.

Question: How often should I massage my scalp for healthier scalp and hair?
Answer: To nurture your scalp and hair, make daily scalp massages a part of your routine, devoting 10 to 15 minutes a day if possible. You may think that you just don’t have that much additional free time. But you can actually do this while watching your favorite show, listening to an audio book, talking on the phone, or even reading (if you have a book stand/holder). Once you get into the habit, you will look forward to this amazingly enjoyable selfcare ritual.

Question: Can scalp massage damage my hair?
Answer: Massaging your scalp too vigorously and for extended periods can potentially harm your hair follicles and lead to breakage. Make sure to use gentle circular motions during your scalp massage to prevent such damage.
.
Question: How long will it take to notice results from scalp massage?
Answer: Typically, it takes around 6 months of consistent scalp massage to truly see enhanced hair thickness as a result of this nurturing ritual. It may sound like a long time, but once it becomes part of your routine, you will want to do it because it feels really good, and it is good for your entire body, not just your hair.
.
Question: Is it possible to overdo scalp massage?
Answer: Yes, it is possible. Overindulging in scalp massage can potentially overstimulate sebum production, making your hair greasier.
.
Question: Can scalp massage hurt?
Answer: Scalp massage should not hurt. However, if you feel discomfort, it may be due to various factors: It could mean a hair follicle infection, tight hairstyles, head injuries, or scalp pimples. Stop the massage if it persists and seek a professional diagnosis.
.
Question: Can scalp massage help with dandruff?
Answer: Definitely! Scalp massage can help manage dandruff by increasing blood circulation to the scalp, encouraging healthy cell turnover, and helping exfoliate dead skin cells.
.
Question: Should I use a hair and scalp oil?
Answer: Yes. I would suggest using an oil once a week to amplify the benefits of scalp massage, cleanse the scalp, and stimulate hair growth. Our Elixir is a truly beautiful, botanical oil that also happens to smell amazing. And a little goes a long way!

Question: Should I use a hair massage tool?
Answer: Yes. I find that using a tool in addition to your fingertips can manage tender areas like the back of your skull, your neck, and trapezius muscles.

May your journey be filled with self-kindness and nurturing moments,
